Burst Pipe Water Damage Cleanup in Garland, TX
A broken pipe moves a lot of water. We dry what it reached.
What is burst pipe cleanup?
After a burst pipe, shut off the main water valve, turn off power to wet rooms, and call for extraction. Cleanup means removing standing water, opening wet wall bases when needed, and drying the framing and subfloor with dehumidifiers. North Texas freezes, like the February 2021 winter storm, are when Garland sees the most burst pipes.

Garland water damage questions
Where is the main water shut-off?
Most homes have a valve where the line enters the house, often near the water heater, in the garage or on an outside wall. There is also a shut-off at the meter box by the street.
Does insurance cover burst pipe damage in Texas?
Sudden, accidental pipe bursts are commonly covered by homeowners policies, while slow leaks and wear are often excluded. Check your policy and photograph everything before cleanup starts.
Do the walls have to be torn out?
Not always. Many walls dry in place with airflow and dehumidification. Wet insulation and drywall that stays wet, or that touched dirty water, usually come out at the bottom 2 feet.
How do I prevent frozen pipes next winter?
Insulate pipes in exterior walls and the attic, drip faucets on the coldest nights, and open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls so warm air reaches the pipes.
